How could people not love 3-5x shamans in a group with all of the changes there making.
wow they love fucking with us in PVP. I really don't care either way about EM but I do notice how they like to stick it to us.
Imo blizzard wants to stick it to all pvpers
EM changes might be a nerf in pvp but good god thats a mega buff for PvE.
bloodlust + EM = 30(40) seconds of massive haste and massive crit% - this will be awesome for boss fights IMO. And the elemental focus change will help during long fights a lot too.
The more I read about DK and shaman changes the more awesome DK + 4 shaman will be for PvE. At this point once 3.0.8 goes live I think DK + 4 shamans is the best possible 5 man combo you can have for heroics.
Increases magic dmg done on target by 13% for one. But that' all I know. I have been on holidays since I hit 80 with my 4 shammies a couple of weeks ago.
Right that 13% does help, with any changes bumping up shaman dmg, this makes that 13% even more powerful. The changes to DK, increase frost pres. from 60% to 80% will help. Its about 7-8% mitigation more.This was to off set the IBF nerf and BS Nerf. Which means less button mashing on the DK. Which to mean I like alot. Also the rune for 25 def +2%stam rune(which equals 125 defense points) is nice for not having to gems/chants for so much def to reach the cap allowing you for more dodge/parry/hp.
Glyph of Fire Elemental Totem - Reduces the cooldown of your Fire Elemental Totem by 10 min.
BA BAM!

Yep, this change won't allow elemental totems to be used in Arena.Quote:

eh as is I barely use my fire elementals. I like my magma, searing and nova totems too much and I feel like if I bring them out its a waste when I need to change up to a different fire totem.
I'm not going to say its 100% better than a paladin in general for boxing, but I'd say with 4 shamans it is. First, as above, 13% increase to magic damage having a DK. Second, especially with the new DK changes, they are making DKs even easier to multibox. More mitigation up front without using abilities (20% extra armor from frost presence PLUS 10% MORE reduced magic damage from frost presence), the ability to shield your entire team from AoE using anti magic bubble which I've used a few times. Multiple silences (not having to interrupt DPS to silence something), multiple snares (chains of ice and death grip), multiple oh shit buttons, and from what I can tell a lot more DPS than a prot paladin.Quote:

To me, that makes DK > Paladin for MB tanking (even if its not by a large margin), plus DKs are cooler ;)
